Rambo Triumphant!

Today I received my limited edition, Rambo statue from the good folks at Hollywood Collectibles.  The statue was placed inside a molded styrofoam shell which was then put in a well designed packaging box which was then placed in a larger shipping box filled with packing nuts.  If you think I’m making too big a deal about how pleased I was with the secure packaging, then you don’t know my delivery guy.

The statue, about 12 inches tall, is itself is a thing of beauty.  Sculpter,  Edinho Maga shows Rambo standing triumphant.  Each statue was hand painted by Dan Cope who did a wonderful job of making the statue even more lifelike.  Hollywood Collectibles always turns out quality items and this Rambo statue  is no exception.  Although this piece is sold out, there are other Rambo collectiblesRocky items,  and many other movie collectibles as well.

Before I bring this post to a close I want to especially thank Mark from Hollywood CollectiblesMark contacted me once I had posted photos of Edinho’s work on the StalloneZoneMark was impressed.  I put the two into contact with each other and the rest, as they say, is history.  Throughout the whole process Mark kept me informed on the statue’s progress.  It was also Mark who made it possible for SZoners to get a discount if they ordered a statue.  Mark and Hollywood Collectibles have been great to deal with.  I hope that future Stallone projects are given the same treatment.  I could say more, but it’s time to go clear off a place on the mantle for my Rambo statue.

Sly #1 Choice

Today at Ottawasun.com, Kevin Williamson lists his choices for the “11 or so plumb roles for the toughest, gristliest actors Hollywood can cough up” in Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Bastards.” Williamson’s number one choice: Sylvester Stallone. Here’s what he had to say about Sly:

“Sylvester Stallone: The man ingests human growth hormone like other people drink Tang. Bonus: He’s riding high on a mini-comeback thanks to Rocky Balboa and this year’s splatter-ific Rambo.”

Williamson’s other choices include: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gary Busey, Ernest Borgnine, Dennis Hopper, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal, Mickey Rourke, R. Lee Emery, Michael Madsen and John Travolta. You can read the full piece HERE. - Craig
